Serendipitous supply
When the Monarch Butterfly NZ Trust wanted to give a gift of plants, locally sourced from Rarangi Beach, east of Blenheim, they came to Oratia. Not only could we provide an eco-sourced species, it was also a plant which had since disappeared from the region!

This is the Trust's story.

Hebe epacridea
Height: 0.3m;  Spread: 0.5m
Shrub
An amazing symmetrical species emphasizing the diversity of Hebes in New Zealand. The highest growing plant in the Mt Cook National Park (c.2900 asl) is also rather hard to grow in warmer climates and is only occasionally available.
